170.000 years: this is the average time it takes for a photon to escape the core of the sun and reach its surface. Outside the Sun, the photons will then travel the 149.6 million km distance to the Earth in under 8 minutes.
The light that warms and illuminates the world today was created 170,000 years ago in a nuclear fusion reaction, deep in the heart of the Sun.
This passive, analog installation is a tribute to this journey, its message made visible by the very photons that pass through the lens.

Sculpting light from the sun.
Behind the scenes: we're making lenses to bend solar rays and redirect photons into a circle, as an homage to the sun.

New @_solar_lab project.
We're doing a residency in the hometown of Augustin Mouchot, the inventor of the earliest solar-powered engine, presented at the Expo Universelle in Paris in 1878.
Our new open source solar concentrator collects and redirects 2.000 Watts of energy and light, with 2.1m² of solar power.
Designed together with @mrtnprsn and exhibited at @lacitebahut all summer, join me and @juliettebibasse for the opening on the solstice tomorrow ☀️
Hear from Joanie Lemercier as he reflects on the mesmerizing interplay of light and water in ‘Lightfall’ by Studio Lemercier. Using light to give the illusion of frozen motion, the installation reveals fleeting moments where water appears suspended in space, inviting us to witness the beauty within stillness.
By distorting our perception of time, this installation offers a quiet reflection on presence, perception, and the nature of reality.
Experience the stillness of ‘Lightfall’, now on view at Superblue Miami ✨
